What is included in my packet?
Your packet includes a finisher medal and finisher shirt. A digital bib can be downloaded from your RunSignUp account after you register. A finisher’s certificate can be downloaded after you submit your results.

Can you run the distance in installments?
You must complete the entire distance in one run/walk but there is no required time constraint. This allows people the opportunity to complete the distance for those who may take longer than the allotted 7.5 hour in-person event.

Where can I run?
Tackle America’s Toughest Road Races anywhere in the world! Run on the course itself (make sure to follow all traffic patterns and be safe), a treadmill, trail, or a route you choose.

How should I record my run?
Submit your results via RaceJoy, upload a GPS data link, or enter results manually. If you're completing your run or walk outdoors, many apps and watches/devices will record your distance and time.

If you use a treadmill, a photo of the display will be accepted. You can enter a link to a public page from an app, take a screenshot from your phone, or take a photo of your watch or your treadmill. Please be sure to record distance, time, and elevation gain.

The best way to successfully complete any challenge is to give and receive support from others. Share your successes, cheer on other runners, and share training and race experiences.

New in 2022! P3R added a Walking Division to the 2022 UPMC Health Plan Pittsburgh Half Marathon. This is an awesome opportunity for more people to participate!

If you walk the half marathon in person you need to maintain a minimum pace of 20 minutes per mile for the 13.1-mile course. 

When registering for the half marathon, you’ll see a question asking if you’d like to participate in the walking division. Simply answer “yes” to this question so you're assigned to the correct starting line corral.

All walking division finishers will receive the half marathon finisher’s medal. There won't be any competitive awards. 

​Due to course time limits, there will only be a WALKING DIVISION for the Front Half Marathon Course in 2022.

Participants in the Back Half Marathon must maintain an average pace of 16 minutes per mile. 

Join P3R in Market Square on April 9, 2022 for the annual Pittsburgh Marathon/Half Marathon course preview run.

The run will tour ~12 miles of the Half Marathon course and ~20 miles of the full Marathon course.

On-course water stations, plus post-run Nuun Hydration and Honey Stinger gels will be provided. DICK's Sporting Goods will provide hot coffee for all runners.

The course preview run is free, but please consider a donation of $10 to help support Kids of STEEL, P3R's youth running program.
